From the past, the
province of Khuzestan was renounced for its
textiles and silk weaving industry. The ancient Arab
geographer Al Moqaddassi has mentioned about the
textiles of this area in his records. Shooshtar and
its surroundings are renounced for its sleeveless
cloaks made of both thick and fine materials.
Shadegan is also famous for its cloaks. The weaving
of the Islamic veil and the Arab veil is a dominant
feature here. Bed Sheets of Shooshtar, waist
wrappers of Dezful, jajeems (a loosely woven woolen
material) of Shadegan are worth mentioning. Besides
there are other handicrafts such as, carpet, a kind
of chain stitch embroidery, Kilim weaving (a type of
coarse carpet), Jajeem weaving, mat and rush mat
weaving, bedding wrappers, manufacture of Warsaw
silver and ... can be taken to account as the
handicrafts of this province.
